Re: GCR conditions ???

The Eyre Highway situation is looking grim but if they get a run of cooler days it might change.

I might have to fly across :roll: :cry:

I need to be in Brisbane on the 12th Jan for work and plan to ride the GSA across. As anyone rode the Great Central Road recently who can give me some idea of the conditions out...

Re: I'm Back !!!!

2016 R1200GSA I was tempted by the new 1250 but it wasn't significantly better in my opinion to pass up a fairly mint low KM 1200.

Battery Dead R1200 GSA, Advice please !!

Hi I went to start the bike yesterday and the battery was flat. I suspect the mobile phone charger I left plugged in was the cause. I am having difficulty in getting the bike running after several attempts to jump the bike from my car. The bike was running when jumped off the car but once I try to r...

I fly to Melbourne tonight to be reunited with my Motorcycle. I have managed the separation anxiety quite well, although I will admit that I have missed the rhino. I plan to ride back via the Great Ocean Road, up through SA and pick up the Eyre Highway and then some of the Old Eyre Highway. I have s...

Steve
Another great video, really enjoyed and had a few flash backs especially that mud hole where you got the guy coming off.

I noted my brief cameo at around 10:30 leaving Bairnsdale.

Should I not be in the credits as an extra ? :lol: :lol:
